Player Watch: Georges-Kévin N'Koudou

Agreed and, though it may come in time, it feels to me like you need to be a little smarter and/or stronger to cut in onto your strong foot. Would be better used as someone to stretch the game and could make a good combination with Trips at right back.

Kind of feel like he'd be a perfect RM in a 4-4-2 but, unfortunately for him, the game has moved on.

I wouldn't even mind him at RWB. It's an easy position to coach a winger into.

He has now returned to training and football.london asked Pochettino exactly what the wide man needs to do now to get more game time under him.

"Try to work hard, try to perform as well during every single training session, be consistent," said the Spurs boss. "Today was his first training session with the group.

"Maybe it is too early for tomorrow but maybe he will have the possibility on Tuesday to play a little bit or from the start of the game."

"Yes, he feels more confidence. I think always when you are young when you come from a different country and culture always you need time," explained Pochettino.

"He is now more settled, more relaxed and calm. It was good in the pre-season, he played a lot of minutes and was unlucky he got an injury that put him out for a while. I think now he is motivated to try to show his quality and always that is welcome."

I reckon he'd have been out the door this summer if he didn't have a chance.

If we got the pacey winger/striker many spoke of he probably would have been.i can understand he needs time.But I was expecting him to be more dynamic than he is.I can't really remember him running past people for fun like say a mane.

He tries to hard in his cameos. Needs to keep it a bit simpler if you ask me.

He definitely needs a loan in January, seems to have lost confidence in his own ability. I hope he comes good but Poch has some decisions to make. We have some youth players in Bennetts and Edwards, who I believe can do much better with the 10-15 mins that GKN has been getting here and there.
